The adhesive-corrected implant framework.

Abstract

To avoid stress between bone, implant and supra construction, the connection between implants must be passive. This is clinically difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with current procedures. Two techniques are presented in which pre-machined titanium abutment cylinders or discs are intra-orally luted to a cast supra structure. The objective is to create a stress-free implant frame-work connection. Possible advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
